I think this article is certainly worth having, as out-of-home advertising is a significant and growing sector of the advertising industry - but this needs major re-writing. I originally put a copyedit tag on it, but replaced that with cleanup-rewrite because it needs a lot more than just copy editing.

'''Ben Daniel Crenshaw''' (born [[January 11]], [[1952]]) is an [[United States|American]] professional [[golf]]er.


Crenshaw was born in [[Austin, Texas]]. He attended and played golf at [[Austin High School (Austin, Texas)|Austin High School]] and the [[University of Texas at Austin|University of Texas]] before turning professional in 1973.
[[User:Tom9d|Tom9d]] ([[User talk:Tom9d|talk]]) 14:54, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


In 1973, Crenshaw became the second player in Tour history to win the first event of his career; this accomplishment was achieved earlier by [[Marty Fleckman]] (1967) and later repeated by [[Robert Gamez]] (1990) and [[Garrett Willis]] (2001). In 1984 he won [[Masters Tournament|The Masters]], one of golf's four [[Men's major golf championships|major championships]]. In the mid-1980s he suffered from [[Graves' disease]], a disease of the [[thyroid]], but he continued to accumulate victories, finishing with 19 on the PGA Tour, including a second Masters in 1995.
I agree that this article has a place on Wikipedia, but the previous content was bogus, including a previous entry that asserted (without reference) that the 'industry had decided on being segmented in certain ways.' I can find no basis for this assertion. So that section has been taken out. Meanwhile, I've begun to edit and revise and make sure there are proper citations. Will keep working on this.


Crenshaw won several further professional events outside the PGA Tour, including individual and team titles in the [[World Cup of Golf]] in 1988. He spent 80 weeks in the top-10 of the [[Official World Golf Rankings]] from 1987 to 1989.<ref>[http://dps.twiihosting.net/wgr/doc/content/2007%20Stats/86TO0810.pdf 69 Players Who Have Reached The Top-10 In World Ranking]</ref>
[[Special:Contributions/76.201.156.23|76.201.156.23]] ([[User talk:76.201.156.23|talk]]) 04:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


Crenshaw is widely regarded as one of the best putters in golf history. His instructor growing up, [[Harvey Penick]], taught him a smooth, effortless stroke on the greens, which allowed him to master even the speediest of greens &mdash; including those at [[Augusta National Golf Club]]. In winning the [[Masters Tournament|Masters]] in 1995 (a victory that came a week after Penick's death), "Gentle Ben" did not record a single three-putt during the tournament.
So I've made additional edits (same person as in the previous comment) to round out the opening section and to add more references. My goal is to ensure that this piece is a complete and thoughtful treatment of this industry, but I also want to make sure that is well-written and well-researched. The original entries were lacking in quality and references. I am working to fix this


Since 1986, Crenshaw has been a partner with Bill Coore in Coore & Crenshaw, a [[golf course design]] firm.

Ben Daniel Crenshaw (born January 11, 1952) is an American professional golfer.

Crenshaw was born in Austin, Texas. He attended and played golf at Austin High School and the University of Texas before turning professional in 1973.

In 1973, Crenshaw became the second player in Tour history to win the first event of his career; this accomplishment was achieved earlier by Marty Fleckman (1967) and later repeated by Robert Gamez (1990) and Garrett Willis (2001). In 1984 he won The Masters, one of golf's four major championships. In the mid-1980s he suffered from Graves' disease, a disease of the thyroid, but he continued to accumulate victories, finishing with 19 on the PGA Tour, including a second Masters in 1995.

Crenshaw won several further professional events outside the PGA Tour, including individual and team titles in the World Cup of Golf in 1988. He spent 80 weeks in the top-10 of the Official World Golf Rankings from 1987 to 1989.[1]

Crenshaw is widely regarded as one of the best putters in golf history. His instructor growing up, Harvey Penick, taught him a smooth, effortless stroke on the greens, which allowed him to master even the speediest of greens — including those at Augusta National Golf Club. In winning the Masters in 1995 (a victory that came a week after Penick's death), "Gentle Ben" did not record a single three-putt during the tournament.

Since 1986, Crenshaw has been a partner with Bill Coore in Coore & Crenshaw, a golf course design firm.
